Nixon Agew "Divided We Fall" Medallion

Submitted by Dana: Over the summer I had stopped at an estate sale and purchased a jewelry box in which I had found a bronze presidential medallion. The medallion is a raised impression of Nixon, with the name Spiro on the side. At the bottom it says, "Divided we fall". There is so stamping or signature to know the make or where it came from. I've done some research and can't find anything that is even similar to it, so I was hoping you could help. Attached are photos of the medallion. If you can help Dana by providing information please click on the comment button. Thanks!
